Waldorf Salad
This classic Waldorf Salad recipe has fresh grapes, apples, celery, walnuts, and raisins in a creamy homemade dressing. We love to enjoy it on Boston Bib lettuce. Whip it up in 10 minutes and serve as a side dish or add in some protein for a complete meal.

Notes
Serving Size: About 1 cup
Apples: I recommend one red apple (Honey Crisp or Red Delicious) and one green apple or golden delicious.
Make Ahead Instructions: I love how I can make this easy waldorf salad a few hours in advance and just keep it in the fridge until ready to serve.
Storing Instructions: Keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days, but it is best enjoyed the first day.
Mix-Ins: Try adding berries, pecans, or other nuts.
No Mayo: Swap the mayo for greek yogurt, or I recommend using half mayo/half greek yogurt.
Waldorf Salad With Chicken: Add grilled chicken to make the salad a high-protein meal.
